Yard and garden

Safe, soft grass for kids and pets, an oasis that invites birds and butterflies, a single bed to feed your love of tomatoes: when it comes to gardening, the possibilities are endless.

Metro breaks it down for you. Learn ways to build healthy soil, cultivate thriving plants and handle those occasional challenges – like bugs or disease – without resorting to toxic pesticides that can harm kids, pets, waterways and wildlife.
